On January 22, 2024, Engine Capital LP sent a letter to members of Parkland Corporation?s Board of Directors. In the letter, Engine Capital expressed its views that the Board?s insular behavior and dismissive attitude towards Engine Capital and apparent disagreement with Simpson Oil Limited suggest a focus on entrenchment and self-preservation. Engine Capital also stated that it warns the Board not to pursue costly and wasteful litigation and start working with shareholders to appoint independent directors with records of value creation and relevant industry experience.
